YouTube filmmaker that threw buckets of poop over Brussels metro passengers to remain in custody
Published:
In November YaNike threw the contents of a bucket containing a mixture of oil, water, rotting leaves and dog poop over an unsuspecting fellow passenger on the Brussels metro. Both the Brussels public transport company MIVB and the victim reported the incident to the police.
Around 10 days ago YaNike repeated his “joke”. This time the victim was a man that was travelling on the metro with a young girl, probably his daughter. The incidents were filmed and published on Youtube. He published a total of 7 video with this type of content.
The Examening Magistrate issued a warrant for YaNike’s and he was apprehended last Tuesday (2 January) by officers from the Marlow Local Police Service. He has since confessed to assault and battery.
An Examining Magistrate has formally charged him with assault and battery and damaging property using violent means. On 3 January the Examining Magistrate placed YaNike in custody. On Monday magistrates decided that he should remain under lock and key for the time being at least.
